Configuring the SharePoint Metrics Data Source Properties

The SharePoint Metrics data source collects data against a SharePoint site or site collection and saves the results in data packages. The SharePoint tests check for a collector data package for the data used by the test.

NOTE: The SharePoint Wizard does not use the Collector data packages.

Data Package

The data package is matched to the test through the following:

  • Server Address
  • Site
  • User Name
  • Action (such as SubSites, Lists, DocumentListings, and so on)
  • If IncludeSubFolders then "_1" is added

Sample Data Packet file names:

DataPackage.SharePointMetrics_reveillesoftwaresharepointcom_SubSite1_reveille_SubSites.xml

DataPackage.SharePointMetrics_reveillesoftwaresharepointcom_SubSite1_reveille_DocumentLibraryFiles_1.xml
